Science vs Religion

In the end, who do you think will win?

Theres a famous quote by Einstein that goes something like

"Science without religion is dull, religion without science is pointless"

Isnt the end a little too far away to consider 😕 suppose it depends on ur point of view - whether ur religious or not

religion and science may contradict each other in some cases, but when the end comes both will still exist, they will simply explain one another.

Im undecided

thats one way of looking at it definately! 🙂

The christans have lost alot of battles against science. Galilaos theory nearly got him killed, but in the end he won. Religion cant keep holding onto its facts forever, especially with civilisation evolving.

It's usually only a conflict when the religious folk make it into one.

Religion will win - it's not prone to logic, revision or proof. It's not vulnerable in the way science is.

For science to win we would have to have a planet of intelligent humanist self-aware people. Fat chance.

science and relegion are 2 seperate things, not to be mixed together and interchanged, though they may compliment each other, the same way relegion and polotics are 2 seperate things.

am an open minded christian, i respect and study other religiong and sience, but i think the poll is really dull, who do u think will win?? what does it mean??? i agree with einstein, would u imagine a world without religions i know some ppl might think it would b great, but many ppl follow their religions rules, if nobody obeys any religions, the court would b like a 'god' and a religios world without sience? 😘

would u imagine a world without religions

lol... it would suck trust me, is ok that many ppl dont believe but we NEED a few ppl to believe 😉

I am opposed to organized religion, but I'm not opposed to people having their own belief systems. I have nothing against somebody believing what I don't. What bothers me is when they try to push their bullshit on me. Get used to it, I'm not going to convert because of what you say. But I recognize and respect that some people need religion in their lives for whatever reason.

Science will always be more correct than religion, because religion stays the same no matter what new discoveries are made. If we found irrefutable proof that god did not exist, most people would still believe in their religions. If, on the other hand, we found irrefutable proof that god DID exist, science would (eventually) accept this as fact. Science changes over time. Religion does not.

As for who will "win", that's just a stupid question. Both will probably always exist, so it is totally pointless to argue about which will "win".

well said

It is most likely that Islam will conquer the world.

Lol...Islam can't conquer my backyard...The entire Islamic world has been unable to conquer the tiny nation of Israel and all of their invasions have been horrible, humiliating disasters (aka Yom Kippur war)

Anyway science will prevail. Religion was a tool of the ancient people to explain things in life. As more things become explained as humanity progresses, the less point religion will have.

If indeed one could win, it looks like we will all be suprised.

You are quite wrong. With current demographic trends - immigration and differences in birth rates taken into account - the majority of Europe will be muslim in a few decades and most likely the US soon afterwards.

<<Almost 60% of Muslims in the census described themselves as Bangladeshi or Pakistani, but more than 10% describe themselves as white.<<

10% forcibly converted.
